To you Poolees and Wannabes,
Along with your study of General Orders and perfecting your Oh-rahs, you should all go and visit your local VA Hospital to see some real heros and what combat is all about...
Check out the former World War II WAC Nurse Hero, now Grandmother, now Schizophreniac, whose children won't bring her grandchildren to see her because she's "looney".
Check out the Vietnam Veteran Hero, double leg amputee, who has to wear a diaper, and sits in his own **** for hours cause the attendents are sick of changing him. He kept telling me to grab his shoes from under the bed.
Check out the Korean War Hero who asks you everyday if you are the doctor and where he (our Hero) is.
Check out the War Hero whos kept alive on breathing apparitus, heart still beating, but is otherwise dead.
Check out the Heros in wheelchairs around the nurse's station waiting for meds, waiting for their snack, or just waiting.
That's about one quarter of one corridor of one ward of three corridors, then check out how many wards the hospital has. Without asking directions, see if you can find your way past all the heros to the exit.
You like reality TV, well, here's your chance to be the star of the show. Let me know if you are really Marine material and accept my challenge.
Semper Fi,
Bill "Kalbo" Long
